Having problems with your Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 Digital Camera ?

My battery will not charge. I purchased a new

\015 My battery will not charge. I purchased a new one....it will not charge. Could it be the charger? The light comes on the charger when I insert the battery but then begins to flash. Manual provides no troubleshooting instructions. THANKS!\015

Answers :

The flashing on a charger usually means that the battery is defective or will not take a charge. I would take the battery back to the vendor and have them check it. A good indication is that if your old battery took even a small charge, it is not usually the charger that is the problem. It points to the new battery being faulty.

I purchased a Sony Mavica cd250 camera in Nov 2002. I had no problems with it until about 4 years ago. I purchased a new battery, and all was fine. Until recently, I had not used my camera for several months. I could not get the camera to hold a charge (after it was plugged in and charged, I could unplug it and it would stay on for a few minutes. When I turned it off, it would not come back on). I tried purchasing another battery from Battery Outfitters, but the battery they sold me was not comp

After leaving my Sony DSC-T2 camera unused for only a couple of days the battery was flat. I recharged it fully but again it only lasted a day or two. I assumed the battery was dead and I purchased a new Sony NP-BD1 battery and charged it correctly. This new battery is behaving exactly the same as the old one, only holding a charge for a day or two at most. It seems the camera is draining the battery when it is switched off, or maybe the charger is faulty ??? Any ideas?? many thanks - Geoff

If the troubleshooting section in the back of the user guide doesn't help, I sugget getting in touch with Sony and asking them if it's normal, the only thing I can suggest in the meantime, is taking the battery out while it's not in use, or recharge ...

I just purchased a new battery and new charger off ebay. The battery died and now I cannot get it to charge. I am not sure if it is the battery or the charger that has the issue but the camera will not turn on at all. Also, I am not sure how long to charge the battery for? an hour or two?

If its a new battery charge it overnight. If its an overseas or aftermarket charger make surethe battery terminals line up with the battery properly. I never recommend these aftermarketchargers because the lifespan is very short. What ...

In May we purchased a Canon Power Shot 590IS. We love the camera, however, battery life with camera is poor at best. With new high energy digital batteries we get approxiamtely 40 - 45 pictures, with 4 differnt manufactures rechargable batteries, we get 12 - 15 pictures, before the batteries require replacement. The camera was retruned to Best Buys where we purchased it aong with an extended warranty. They keep the camera for 10 days, retruned it saying nothing was wrong. Any suggestions?

We are having great success selling our customers the Energizer Lithium AA batteries. They are a little more expensive initially, but the end cost is much lower than alkaline cells. They usually give about 7 times more shots than alkalines. There's a ...

We have a Canon Power Shot A570 IS, purchased October 30, 2007.
We have purchased new AA-size NiMH batteries for it but the problem remains. Whenever you turn it on it shows "Batteries Low" and shuts itself off. You might be able to take 1 or 2 pictures before the batteries low light comes on. I understand that lithium batteries will not work in this camera.
Please advise. Thanks, Eileen

Alkaline are the only batteries to use in digital cameras such as yours. If you still get the same results with either or batteries the capacitor is giving out in the circuitry. The cost to repair this camera outweighs the cost of a new camera ...

Broken Camera Hello. I purchased FinePix Z5FD digital camera from a Best Buy location on 7/20/07 and the camera has not been working for the past few months. I thought it was the battery because when I switched in a new battery it worked...well now that I bought a new battery it is only working while it is plugged in. Is this something best buy can help me with? Thanks

I have an Olympus e510 that I bought new 2 years ago. The other day I got it out to use it and it will not turn on. I purchased a new battery, charged it, and it still will not work. When I removed the battery from the charger the light on the charger was green. I decided after the camera would not turn on I put the battery back on the charger. At that time the charger was showing a red light. Could the charger be going bad?

Hi, as per your information your camera 2 years old but not used much. You buy a new battery 1st time when you charged you see the gree light. But camera not working. When you try to charge the battery again you seen the red light. Its mean your char ...

Hi, i purchased a Siemens wirefree door chime about 3 months ago (the model is either a DCWF13 or DCWF14). However, approximately every three weeks since i purchased the chime i have had to remove the batteries and then replace them as the door chime stops working. Once the batteries have been re-inserted (NOT NEW BATTERIES) the chime then works again for a while. It would appear that the chime is losing it's memory!! Can you please advise what i should do.

I have a Cyber-shot DSW-W310 camera.
I recently purchased a new battery.
When my battery needed to be recharged I used my recharger.
I placed the battery in my camera.
It is appears it is fully charged but the camera says
"For use with compatible battery only"
Then the camera shuts down.
The battery I have is a Sony battery that worked just a few days ago!!!
HELP!!!
The battery was $50.00!!!!
Not sure if it is my charging dock that is causing the problem with my battery.

Sony DSC H5 runs down batteries very rapidly. Much faster than when the camera was originally purchased. A pair of new AA batteries only lasts for 12 - 24 photos. Brand new rechargeables fully charged are totally drained after sitting in the camera for a few weeks with no use. The camera is definitely OFF. This did not happen three years ago when I bought the camera, it started in the last 6 months. I can't go on like this!

Hi there please reset the camera 1st . THen pair your battery with your camera. Go in menu then battery type option. Select the type of a battery. After that save the setting. Now try . If you face the same problem then the camera internal power tran ...

Received a Kodak Z1285 for my birthday in February of 2009. Approximately a month ago the camera would not "turn on". I tried several different batteries including purchasing new batteries but nothing worked. I spoke with the sales department @ Walmart in Plano TX because this is where the camera was purchased as a gift.
Walmart says I have to contact Kodak which is fine. My question is how do I go about sending this camera in for repair if I do not have a receipt because it was a gift and

My canon powershot won't start up even after I purchased a new battery. I was curious as to if the battery has to be a 760mAh, as the ones I purchased were 1400mAh. It is around 4 yrs old, however, the camera has been used very little. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I changed the batteries in my Power Shot A720 IS recently when the low battery warning flashed, and had taken only two photos when the warning flashed again. I moved the mode switch to playback and the screen went dark "Change batteries now" appeared. I turned off the camera, set the mode switch to shooting, turned the camera back on and was able to take two more photos before the low battery warning returned and prevented any more picture taking. I purchased and installed new batteries and f

I have a Nikon Coolpix S610 (I think model #32507688). The little orange battery lock that keeps the battery in place broke and fell out. The outer door does not hold the battery in and the camera does not work or shuts down if we don't constantly hold the battery in place during use. Can I purchase this piece and replace it myself. Quotes on a repair of this is almost as much as a new camera. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Nikon COOLPIX S710 stops working after battery and/or memory card are removed. I have reformed the memory card (no change). Purchased 2X new batteries (no change). One of the original batteries will allow the camera to work, directly after a fresh charge, but not after it is removed, unless directly after insertion from being freshly charged. Have checked all 4 different batteries and voltages all appear at of above specified 3.7 VDC. Still only one of the 4 will ever allow the camera to functio

A voltage test alone cannot determine if the battery is good unless you can have the current rating of the battery tested. So if the camera comes on after a charge it seems that the battery is not retaining current for the camera to boot on.\01 ...

I have purchased a jvc camcorder in grand canaria,spain.It is jvc gz-mg330AE.i am led to believe by the sales person that it is a new recent model on the range.Is this so?.Also a more powerful battery pack-for BN-VF808U,7.2V 12800mAh.The standered battery on this cam which came with it is BN-VF808U,DC7.2-730mAH.Is the former battery pack(VF808U)a more powerful battery although it bears the same model as the standard pack stronger?

Usually a battery that hasn't been used or charged for a long time ... may not be able to hold a charge anymore. So, if you have "plugged" it in (to the USB link/power source) to charge it (for about 24 hours or more), and it still isn't charged, th ...
